What Damages Is Available For My Injuries in New Florence, MO?

The value of your claim depends on the seriousness of your injuries and how they affect your life, whether you are partially at fault for the accident and the skill of your New Florence, MO injury attorney. Generally speaking, the type of compensation you receive will fall into one of two categories of damages: economic losses and noneconomic losses.

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate you for the financial toll your injuries have caused you. An experienced injury attorney will help you receive full compensation for:

The more of an impact your injuries have had on your life, the higher your noneconomic damages will be.
